Maximum spacer size help

[ero 5.0]

Anyone know the biggest spacer I could use on the front with the stock studs. I have a gt PP with these wheels. They are tucked way in in the front and would like to make em a little more flush. And is there a disadvantage of running spacers in the front? Any hit to performance?

From what has been reported here, most experts will recommend 5mm hub centric wheel spacer with the stock wheel studs.

No issues running a 5mm spacer from a performance standpoint.

I was also looking into getting 5mm wheel spacers, if anyone with good knowledge of these could post that would be awesome!

But I think they may be for 10 mm and above.

They do make custom requests .

The 5mm spacers are so cheap imma just try those and see if it looks good enough. If not then ill explore other options. Thanks everyone.

How did the 5mm spacers look? I've been looking at 15-20 but i'm thinking that'll put too much weight on the bolts. I wanted to know what you thought of the 5mm ones, maybe pics if you got it installed.

5mm is NOTHING... probably not even noticeable

yea I thought so as well, so people are saying that this spacer nonsense is sketch and can hurt the car. But if you got hubcentric couldn't you go to like 20mm? when does it become harmful. I have the PP and want to keep the rims, but don't want to start hurting the car.

5mm is for saftey on the stock studs

anything more then that just use adapters.

hub centric is independent of thickness... any size you decide to get should be hub centric for vibration sake.

Dang okay, I'll have to find a place to just buy it all as a package, so I don't have to deal with it. would be nice to click the "buy here if you have a '15 PP GT mustang" and it gives me everything I need for 20MM.

Right, I'll get hubcentric 100%, I'm just wondering at what point on hubcentric will it become harmful?
